I've read where authors say it is important. From my own limited experience, I don't know.

A few years ago, I read part of a story (I don't think it was on BC but I could be wrong) in which a boy and girl were in a school (I think) library, talking. The girl suddenly ran off, leaving the boy wondering what had happened. He followed the girl who had run into the toilets. He wnet in after her and asked what was wrong, I think she was reluctant, at first, to tell him why she had run off the way she did. eventually, though, she did tell him that she'd had a period (first?) and was embarrassed about it. She also needed clean clothes as what she was wearing was blood stained.

Hi. Thanks to everyone reading Atalanta's story. I've downloaded several pics that I use as inspiration writing Atalanta. I though it might be fun to post a pic in a story but I know enough to be dangerous doing that. Along that same venue I have about seven pics that I feel displays her energy well.

I know pics can be a resource hog so I wanted to if I do place a picture that it not use a lot of bandwidth. None are copyrighted as far as I know. There is no watermark. I think there are royalty free too.

just thought i would pop in and say hi and all is going ok so far. i am busy with rl which sucks some times . it cant be all roses all the time, although i do wish it would be. take care of yourselves.

Sorry folks, worked twelve hours and fell asleep in the chair. Can't think why I'm so tired.

I'm selling one of my older stories.

It's only a 1.59 in U.S. dollars.

You can buy it through Erin's Big Closet Amazon store. Here's a link.

So, I am "tooling up" to finish the three stories that will be part of my anthology to be published this fall. Yesterday, I received the suggestion that at least one of my stories are Kindle "book length". Hmmmm. So, now I am full of ideas. Incidentally, so far I am planning to use Amazon, so anyone with helpful hints about using them, be my guest. I am thinking that anything that Amazon publishes must be removed from BCTS, though have not talked with a publicist yet. I plan to do that in June. Most of my stories will either go in the Anthology or be published separately.

Just so people don't think I dropped off the face of the earth as an author, I figured a few updates are in order.

I know the universe has gone a little flat lately and that's partially my fault but I can't help but think that people don't seem to understand it either. I have a set of rules but most of my rules for the universe are in the stories. So if you really want to write a DarkRealms story, please READ all the stories in the universe before pitching me an idea. Its not that hard. Most if not everything you need to know about the universe is in there. If its not, drop me a PM and ask me.

I hope this means I can get on with writing, although it maybe that it's a bit of an extreme way of getting time at the computer ...

a little extra to tide you over until I return from Germany!

I'd like if any of those here that would be willing to help me with a count. I'm curious as to the audiences here.

So...

Recently I watched a TV programme about the Prophets of Science, Asimov being my favourite. Anyway in one of the articles I heard the phrase "Augmented Reality" about implanted video displays and cameras that take facial recognition to a personal level. Of course we all know that this would be great as we get older and struggle to remember where we know someone from or even what there name is.

Later in the programme they talked about the process where brainwaves can be used to control limbs, devices, or communicate with others. Here comes the weird thought for a new story.

Hi,

As you might know, I'm moving into Kindle books, and I need some help!

I'm looking for some cover art for some new ebooks. I want to BUY the publishing rights for the artwork.

Can you believe that Amazon doesn't have a transgender fiction genre, even though there are over 1500 titles available. To put that in perspective, it does have a Transgender memoir section with under 200 titles. I think that needs to change because fiction is a great way to educate while entertaining. Please sign and share this petition. Thank you, Katie Leone (Transgender fiction writer and a good one).

Okay, I may have asked this before, but I'm a little frustrated.

On the one hand, I added almost 4500 words to the new story I'm working on last night (11k+ and climbing rapidly). On the other hand, I was up 'til after 4am writing them. Thank God that I work from home most days...

*shuffles off for more tea.*

Well to take the strain off my time on Wednesday I've posted More Changes - Gaby book 9 onto Kindle today rather than wait.

It should be live later today.

I'm trying to find an older story on a Westworld/Futureworld theme where the customers mind is transferred to the selected theme character while the body remains in his room at the park. Things go wrong and the guy/customer becomes a girl,falls in love with another customer,etc.

As promised, the final polished version of Reaching the Point of No Regrets is now available as an ebook on lulu.com. I think you'll enjoy some scenes that I added, as well as some necessary editing that, in my opinion, really helped improve the flow of the story. Aside from that, it's only $3.50. I hope everyone enjoys this unofficial second edition. Thanks for reading.

Cheers,
Drew

Sorry folks, Bonz is out and Whizz is refusing to dictate the story to me, so I'm not going to do a bike tonight. If the truth be told, I'm too tired to be arsed to think enough to write anything coherent.

Thanks for all the comments and kudos for my short story, 'let him wear a skirt then.'

Hopefully, normal service will resume tomorrow. If you're desperate for Bike, might suggest reading some back numbers, I've been doing so for a few weeks and apart from the typos and other mistakes, I've quite enjoyed the experience.

I really hate doing this but I really don't have any recourse. Because someone decided to inform Amazon that I offer my works for free on this site I have been given an ultimatum. Either pull the stories or Amazon will price all my books for free.

Soon, very soon, the revised version(and by revised, I mean going over it with a fine tooth comb) of Reaching the Point of No Regrets will be available on lulu.com and for the nook e-reader. All you need is Adobe Digital Editions to download the story from the lulu site. Right now, someone is helping me search for just the right marketing image for my story. During this final revision, I edited a few scenes out while adding some others. Now the story flows much better. Whew! Editing certainly can be a bear, especially when you're OCD like me.

Well as promised Gaby - Changes
is now available for Kindle
